Does anyone know what i can use to edit the xml files extracted from Android 2.2.2 apks?
I've tried using both apk manager to decompile the apks and then edit the xml, and AXMLPrinter2 to convert xml to readable text for further editing with no results.

Does anyone know of a Xml editor to use for modifying the xmls on the VZW Note 2? I have used several including a couple of Hex editors but the format is still the same. I cannot see the values.
See attachment for format:
You didn't decompile the .apk where you got that from that's why you can't read it. Use APK Manager and decompile the .apk and it'll be read-able.
Android XML is compiled. You must decompile it. Alternately, you can view it on your device.
Thanks guys. I was just reading the SDK training kit online which outlined creating and editing. Now I know that the apk must be decompiled.
Again, thanks!
First, my native language is not English, sorry.
I have been trying to modify the classes.dex in a specific app, can't manage it well.
First of all, extract classes.dex from apk and chage it to smali file(use baksmali).
Second, modify smali file, and then turn it back to classes.dex.
Finally, compress classes.dex into apk.
However, android cut off as soon as play after installing apk.
I thought how about if do not modify the smali file. So, No sooner had i transform dex into smali than retransform smali into dex. but it still not working after install. transformed dex's binary is even different from original dex's binary. Why is this happening?
Plz. Help me....
Can you decompile APK with just renameing it to the ZIP or RAR files.
Then you can extract it and you get all the files inside the apk.
then you can edit xml files and simply rename it back to APK.
I was just wondering is this right and safe way or you shouldn't decompile it like that?
